Please. How is anything you have promoted "standing up for democracy?" You mean like the democracy we have brought to the middle east?
Besides, I thought the great Reagan won the cold war and defeated communism. How did he miss a little island 90 miles off of our shores? And why didn't Bush/Cheney take out the next-door-neighbor-dictator while they were eliminating the axis of evil and ridding the world of dictators? Not enough oil in Cuba or what?
I'll take that as a no, you do not believe in democracy, and support oppressive governments. I thought the lefties were for everyone being equally treated. Well maybe in theory, but not willing to take a stand I guess.
I haven't been there, although I could have gone on an educational trip there, under the sanctions, and I wish I had. All I really know is that when I was in Jr. High, the Cuban Missile Crisis took place, and the Castro regime does not seem to go away.
I hear Cuba is a time capsule from the 1950s, which would be great to see. I also realize that they have had trade relations with everyone but us all this time, and yet it is the US which gets blamed for their backwardness...not Communism.
Cuba women's national basketball team is world class. And Cuban cigar.
Only two countries that we don't have normalized relations with North Korea and Cuba, in light of the Sony hacking and subsequent threats is Cuba really considered on the same level as North Korea?
Exactly who is the embargo punishing, certainly not Castro. The embargo will remain for the time being, this is just about normalizing relations the debate to fund an embassy will take place in congress.

I think it was more about not letting US dollars flow into an oppressive country, and letting that money benefit the Cuban government. The dictatorship will benefit way more than the people of the country.
